Hi Guys and Gals,
 
I have a Giant SCR 3.0 for sale that i brought in 2006 (i think!!) It has hardly been ridden for the last couple of years, and is in very good mechanical condition. The frame has a few light scratches, but nothing major - just general wear and tear!
 
Really dont want to get rid of bike, but my impending house move means that i have nowheere to store her, and dont want to keep her outside!
 
Also have a brand new static trainer (Minoura VSF remote) for sale either combined, or seperately
 
Bike is located in Swindon, Wilts.
 
Any info of photos, then please get in touch!

Greetings all!


The Freegan Bike Workshop, based out of Brooklyn, NYC, is currently in need of a space to work from!

The FBW's goal is to provide free education, repair, parts, and bike-building to the surrounding community.

If you know of anything free/cheap (including garages, empty lots, basements, etc.) in the Brooklyn (preferably Bed-Stuy) area, please let us know at fbw-organizers@gmail.com. Thanks so much!

Peace, love and happy & safe riding.

A beautiful bike that I simply don't make use of. It's a little over a year old and is in really good condition, although it seems pretty indestructably made anyway! The only real "damage" is the small amount of chipped paintwork on the underside of the stand (which occurs within days of buying it) and a small scrape on the bell. 
 
The bike is always stored indoors at night and under cover when away from home in the day. Everything's in good working order.

The bike is currently in Newcastle if you wish to pick it up, or can be posted if this suits better.

Have a look at the bike when new on the Pashley website.

 
Photos on request - tell me if there are particular parts you'd like to see, or the whole thing.
